Dive-site story
Located along the rugged coastline of the Akamas Peninsula, Fontana Amorosa is a sheltered natural bay with shallow, clear water. The dive profile combines rocky ridges, scattered limestone boulders, and extensive meadows of Posidonia oceanica. Historically utilized as a natural anchorage since antiquity, the seabed features fragments of ancient amphorae cemented into the rock formations alongside typical Mediterranean marine life.
